Embedded PC Logger

EPL-110/EPL-111

The EPL-110 and EPL-111 Embedded PC Loggers are local data acquisition units for transport applications designed to provide data capture from USB devices and video cameras.

The units are based around a 1.33GHz Intel Atom processor running the Microsoft Embedded XP operating system. Applications for on board data processing may be developed using the McLaren Electronics GDE products run under the vTAG execution environment. vTAG provides functionality for data processing and data acquisition for subsequent upload to ATLAS.
